Hi all, a PSA: Please don't let unsupervised children into the Omni unless you are willing to supervise them [closely] for the complete duration of the time they're there. And generally, don't let someone in who's not a member unless you're willing to take on responsibility for them as your guest so long as they're there. It's nice to answer the door and all, but with such kindness comes great responsibility. Protip: It's super nice to answer the door to a curious newcomer and give them a tour, and super nice to yourself to end that tour back at the door if you're not willing to continue being responsible for them. Thank you, Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://thepyre.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

Re: [sudo-discuss] [bayareahackerspaces-discuss] [Proposal] 2014 BACH Unconference on Oct 18-19 at The Omni (Oakland)

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, Okay, so I have a tough question to ask!!! Here's The Omni's calendar http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Calendar We *can *host the event on Oct 25-26, BUT we'll have to coordinate with a concurrent event: http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Event:2014/10/24_Alette_in_Oakland They expect 100-150 people mainly in the ballroom ( http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/File:Omni_full_floorplan_NS.svg). I'd anticipate a BACH Unconference maybe getting close to the 100+ mark only with a great turnout, but probably closer to ~50 with rolling attendees (folks leaving and new folks arriving) for this first-time event. Either number of people would fit in the basement + sudo room's space (see same floorplan above). Here are the *Alette in Oakland* (concurrent event) details: Fri Oct 24: 7-10pm Sat Oct 25: 10am-10pm Sun Oct 26: 11am-3pm We're not sure if there will be sound issues between the ballroom and basement, but we can try to find out beforehand. I don't think it will be too big of an issue if we're not using amplified sound. Alternatively, we can pick an earlier date with more flexibility of location and concurrency Oct 4-5 has: http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Event:2014/10/04_Anne%27s_White_Glove_rehear… Oct 11-12 has: http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Event:2014/10/11_Oakland_Nights_Live and http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Event:2014/10/12_Anne%27s_White_Glove_rehear… // Matt On Fri, Aug 22, 2014 at 8:52 PM, Mitch Altman < mitch(a)cornfieldelectronics.com> wrote: > It would be great to see you again on this coast. :) > > > -------------------------------- > > On 8/22/2014 8:00 PM, John Love wrote: > > Exciting!!!

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omnilogistics] [Critical] Cannot pass new member Rise Above printing

by David Keenan

Hey all, Yes - Gabriela's message above was forwarded to omnilogistics on 8/7. She also spoke at that week's delegates meeting, as well as at this week's delegate meeting. She has also come by several times and spoken with folks in the building. Together with her most recent email and time to talk tonight, I think Gabriela has by this point functionally answered most of the questions in the questionnaire, and I think certainly addressed the spirit of the questionnaire in terms of being forthcoming about who she is and what she brings to the omni community. But Sudo is a larger group that does things in a more formal manner and if Sudo needs more time to discuss Rise Above's co-subtenancy (if that is the right word for all of us here?), then I think one more week can and should be afforded, even if it is not ideal. It's no one's 'fault' - all of us are volunteers and things just take longer than they should. By the same token of accepting that situations are not ideal, in that same spirit I hope Sudoers recognize that the actual process for adding new co-subtenants (maybe roommate is a better word) is not exactly a well-oiled machine at all, that all of us are operating in good faith, and that we should all still make an effort to accommodate new tenants within the context of this still-imperfect process - both in the general spirit of mutual aid, and for the ongoing survival of the overall project. Other, earlier potential new tenants, like RLL and Ian, didn't make it through our intake process in part because our this process was less than perfect. In addition to Gabriela's emails and presentations at delegate meetings -- some quick facts to consider: - Willing to pay a max of $1000/mo - Needs ~11' radius work area for her 6-screen silkscreen press; some space for a desk; good ventilation, daylight for doing art stuff - Would like to work in the utility room for her 6-screen silkscreen press, which she is willing to share and train others within the Omni community to use also, in the spirit of radical sharing (so long the space and equipment is thoughtfully cared for, her inventory like t-shirts is potentially secureable, etc.) - Is willing to contribute towards fixing up that room: -- removing or moving backward into the hallway part of the pony-wall separating the kitchen from that area so she has enough room, -- putting in a window, etc. Btw -- in terms of the current ground-floor kitchen in the hallway: Health and Fire say its gotta go (not to code for commercial use, which is what we are..). Remember guys, there is another kitchen upstairs - we just can't access it yet, cause John and Mary are using it. But anyhow this particular hallway has to stop being a kitchen, so - Rise Above's presence is not a factor in that, just in case folks were worried about that. - Rise Above would also need to occasionally use part of the area near/adjacent to in the walk-in-freezer area for rinsing out screens - this coincides with the need of the cafe & basement kitchen to have a mop sink / cleaning supply area as per health code. Is willing to help invest in the cost of upgrading this area too in order to serve this need. Other thoughts: In addition, although this feels like it needs to elaboration, welcoming Gabriela fulfills the function of preserving the cultural production of local artists which is obviously being gentrified out of existence in this neighborhood. Providing a continued home for her work fulfils a real-time function of social justice in terms of helping this local community we have moved into, and that feels really important to me. (She also lives in this neighborhood.) She is well-connected to the neighborhood and I think will really help integrate Omni into the local social fabric. Also, her press is a natural companion resource to TIL's community press area in the basement in terms of the community having access to means of production - not unlike Sudo in its computer-y way, BAPS in its radical pedagogical way, CCL in its bio way, etc. In addition I have helped spend a few weeks working out with Gabriela what spaces in the building might be mutually compatible for Gabriela and OOC. This process, with any potential tenant, takes time before a proper application be effectively and thoughtfully made with regards space (an aspect that is not yet reflected in the questionnaire: where and how often space used, not just how much.) As pondering RLL and Ian taught us, it is not the easiest thing in the world to find a new roommate - who is kind, cool, able to contribute financially at a solid level, and above all into the spirit of radical sharing indexical to this project and our survival. Maybe I'm not the only one, but I've put a lot of time and care into efforts at getting new tenants - pitched to multiple law collectives, other free schools, and others - and I think Rise Above is a solid fit. For sudoers' deliberation I would only ask, in terms of process -- let's not let perfection be the enemy of the good..? Not that y'all are doing that - I'm just saying, yes, this *process* may not yet be perfect, but in my view, Rise Above is definitely good :) Lotsa love - me On Fri, Aug 29, 2014 at 1:24 AM, Rise Above Printing < info(a)riseaboveoakland.com> wrote: > Hi Matt and Omni Collective, > Hopefully this is going to the whole list, if not can you please forward. > At the beginning of August I emailed my proposal to join the Omni with my > responses to the collective joining questionnaire.

Fwd: Berkeley collective needs someone for phone line/router connection

by Phil Wolff

Good folks seek referral... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Betsy Morris <Betsy(a)kali.com> Date: Thu, Aug 28, 2014 at 2:10 AM Subject: needing someone to phone line/router connection Raines and I share meeting space as members of the Long Haul Infoshop collective on Shattuck Ave. The collective needs someone to put in a new phone/DSL line from the outside phone box. It's currently in a very messy arrangement that was once a building wide multi-line system no longer in use or needed. The result is slow and intermittent internet and wireless There's a couple of phones, and jacks as far as I know. Can you recommend someone with professional experience and equipment, and/or do you know what the going rates are for this? Thanks!

Fwd: [omnilogistics] URGENT WORK PARTY TONIGHT, 6PM FOR BALLROOM/BASEMENT OPENING TO PUBLIC!

by yar

Sudoroom is having its regular weekly meeting tonight, but at the same time Omni folks will be having a work party to demolish & rebuild parts of the large ballroom. Please come and get involved! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brel Froebe <brel.alexandre(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Aug 27, 2014 at 1:51 PM Subject: [omnilogistics] URGENT WORK PARTY TONIGHT, 6PM FOR BALLROOM/BASEMENT OPENING TO PUBLIC! To: omnilogistics(a)lists.riseup.net Hello Omni Fam, Tonight at 6PM we will be having a work party to take care of some tasks that need to get done for the ballroom/basement to be legal/up to fire code/ready for SEPT. 6th! It is a considerable list, but totally do-able, especially if we have some helping hands! Below is a list of tasks to give you a sense of things. we will be going over tasks/drywall repair as a group to educate folks who may not know certain skills. it should be fun (lets make it fun!)!! If you have it, please bring crowbars/prybars/flatbars. Thanks, and please respond if you think you can make it tonight! Peace, Brel briefly, here is a list of tasks that need to get done for the ballroom to be legal/up to fire code/ready for folks on sept. 6th: *Full breakdown of ballroom tasks*: - Repair biggest hole in ballroom with drywall: the wall section on the mezzanine needs to be replaced, i already virtually completed the demo, now the drywall needs to be installed, first layer of joint compound/tape applied, then let dry and apply 2nd layer, then 3rd layer, then primed then painted. we need to still BUY the paint and have the color match the black color. -repair/patch various drywall holes/damage in the backstage area -someone needs to take pictures of the rest of the "fallen angels" around the ballroom (before painting over them) -paint adjacent walls to the wall that is being replaced (i.e. there are 4 sections that make up that mezzanine wall, 1 of them is being replaced, and we should paint all of them, as per the proposal i sent out via omnilogistics) -purchase and install "EXIT" signs for 3 exits. Must tie into electrical and I think be battery operated (Ormund, can you assist here? Are you a licensed electrician btw - just curious?) - Purchase and install the correct # of fire extinguishers -- every 75' around the room - Install panic bars on main doors from ballroom to Shattuck (both sets of double doors); remove sliding bolts. - Rent at least a 19' scissor lift - once we get approval from the delegates Thursday, remove all ceiling tiles in ballroom * (requires scissor lift) *Not related to ballroom 'fire life & safety' codes per se, but should do*: - Repair external siding (to ballroom, on south side) that is about to fall off, that is visible from the mezzanine wall described above (this is most likely the reason why that wall got damaged in the first place: water damage/exposure to the outside)* - Perhaps: remove odd piece of plywood board (suspended from trusses in front of stage) with 4x4 long pieces of wood attached to it. we should dissassemble it while we are up there. not sure what purpose it serves, but Cep thinks we should get rid of it because it is currently stuck in a way that we can't use it/move it to a usable place. it at one time may have been a platform to do lighting stuff from the ceiling beams. *In basement (also relates directly to ballroom fire life & safety, pointed out by inspector)*: -replace basement a few missing ceiling tiles; We can use the ballroom ceiling panelling for this, won't look beautiful/will be black unless we paint it, but will be functional. - lay up drywall in large ceiling hole under bathroom, put ceiling tiles on it: probably with double-sheets sheets of 5/8" (firewall) * = tasks that require a SCISSOR LIFT

Revised Electrical Plan (rev 1.1)

by Whitney Lawrence

Submitted for review. Notes: 1. SudoMesh asked for 30A service for the servers. I opted to install 20A rated outlets next to 15A outlets in 4plex boxes at plug locations A & B on two 20A breakers instead because the outlets will be "conventionally" shaped. If in fact, a 30A breaker is required then the outlets will be rated accordingly and will look more like a plug for a dryer. 2. Overhead electrical: There is an additional cost of about $250 plus labor to get this done in Phase two. I am personally not convinced of the merits of having overhead power when wall outlets are in such immediate proximity (max 15ft). 3. I would like these plans to be reviewed this week to be fully prepared for installation early next week. 4. Last weekend, Hol and I went to Home Depot to get supplies for Phase 1. I request reimbursement of $348.02 for materials. I have the receipt and will present to whomever would like a copy. That is all. -Whit

Drill press and clamps

by Torrie Fischer

Hi, sudo Earlier today I was trying to use the drill press to create a hobbed bolt for Noisebridge's prusa. In the process, I broke a 5" cast-iron C-clamp that was holding the vice to the table and I also could not locate the chuck key. I am ordering a replacement 6" steel C-clamp, a universal chuck key, and an assortment of heat shrink tubing from McMaster later this week. They should be available at Sudo room by Monday at the latest, maybe earlier if they deliver on Saturday. Same day shipping FTW! If there are other things that are needed in the machine shop, please let me know and I'll throw it in with my order.

filming a lenovo commercial at sudoroom

by Jake

this guy wants to film me for 7 seconds for a commercial for a lenovo tablet. He will pay like $400 or so, which i will donate to sudoroom. he will bring a release which will need to be signed by John (the owner) i told him to send me the release so i can show it to John, so we know ASAP whether that will be an issue (of course it shouldn't be) does anyone know what Johns' schedule is, or if I can get his phone number so I can coordinate with him about the release? i figure it's a sign that this guy wants to film me hacking robot, and i was planning on hacking robot anyway, and i'm about to get it to work. thanks, -jake PS i know, it would be nice if Lenovo would just give us a pile of laptops, i will ask believe me. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2014 17:03:14 -0700 From: John Tomma Subject: filming roboticist Hi Jake, Paul Freeman gave me your name... he knows me by my nickname "Frisbay" - we went to college together and I recently moved out to the bay area. Anyway, I'm a video producer and I'm working on a Lenovo web commercial in which we're hoping to feature a DIY type roboticist. Lenovo is releasing a new tablet that has what they're calling an "infinity" screen. The commercial is basically an exploration of what infinity means. We'll be having people in different situations saying a short line about infinity (a guy parachuting out of a plane, a woman doing yoga on a surfboard, someone traveling across a suspension bridge in Malaysia....). Filming would take about an hour or so. It would be a tiny crew, just me and 1 assistant - we'd work with existing light. In the final commercial the robot section would take up about 3-8 seconds, so it's not a lot of footage I need. Basically a shot of some work being done with electronics or hardware on a robot, and the "infinity" line. In principle, the brand is looking for someone around 22-30 and my understanding is you're around Paul and my age. Perhaps you've got youthful looks and it would work :-) or perhaps you work with someone younger who would enjoy being a part of it. If someone looks early 30s that probably would be OK. Since it's a web commercial, budget is tiny, but I have around $400 budgeted to pay whomever we feature and rent the location if necessary. One potential challenge is that for legal reasons, I would need a location release signed by the owner of the building, not the lessee. If you're the owner of the location where you work, that won't be a challenge, but if not, we'd need to work that out beforehand. One workaround is to film the bits we need outside where we won't need a building location release. The biggest challenge is the timeline. Web commercials often have crazy turnaround times. I got hired 2 days ago, and I have to submit the edited video by Thursday, so I would need to do the filming sometime tomorrow. Or if there is no other option, Tuesday late morning. I could also potentially film later today, although I'm sure you already have plans. It should be a pretty cool spot - I've got filmmakers in Malaysia, Bulgaria, Canada, and LA all working on it. Please let me know if you're interested. Obviously it's incredibly short notice and a small budget, so I totally understand if it isn't practical. Looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks!

Omni bike pump valves hacked into nonworkingness

by David Keenan

Hello, Just fyi all, someone tried to switch all the valves around on the bike pump for some reason which meant they didn't work on either presta or schrader valves..and also lost a weird-ass grommet in the process which broke the schrader. I had to order a rebuild kit from TipTop ($5). It comes wednesday.

zone9 bloggers wikipedia edit-a-thon today

by april glaser

Hi all, april from EFF here. Writing to invite you all to a Wikipedia edit-a-thon I'm helping to organize this afternoon at Wikimedia HQ (or anywhere!). We want to improve the pages of the Zone9 Bloggers and other journalists who are currently in jail in Ethiopia. In April 2014, six members of the Zone 9 Bloggers and three associated journalists were arrested in Addis Ababa and now face terrorism charges for their writings. They were additionally charged with conspiracy for using basic encryption tools. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco_21 We're meeting today from 1-5pm at Wikimedia (149 New Montgomery Street: Floor 6). One of the Zone 9 bloggers, Endalk, who currently is seeking asylum in the US, will join us. Endalk was also a policy fellow at EFF this summer. Maybe I'll see some of y'all there! All the very best, april PS: this is my first post to the list; hopefully, it is appropriate. please excuse me if not. I'd like to be more involved with Sudo, as I recently moved to the area to work at EFF, have dear friend already hacking there, and have always worked with hackerspaces in some capacity where ever I'm based. will surely meet some of y'all in the near future

Re: [sudo-discuss] Network Changes

by Jake

thanks for doing all that work! one thing: the DSL modem would be better off as close to where the telephone line comes into the building as possible. There is bandwidth loss with distance from the telco, especially in an electrically noisy environment like inside omni and next to ethernet cables. conversely, there is no "loss" over ethernet (it either works or it doesn't, mostly) so it's better to put the DSL modem where it works best and run ethernet to it. also, for documentation perhaps some written info on a notebook tied to the server rack? i think it might be foolish to put everything on a wiki on the net :) -jake Max B wrote: > - We moved the modem from the backspace area to the sudoroom server > rackplatform.

New mailing list for Omni construction discussions!

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all! I decided to set up a new mailing list to cover all the traffic related to construction across the Omni building, to lighten the load on the main omnilogistics list a bit: https://groups.google.com/group/omni-building It's a google group, and it's set to be world-viewable. Anyone can post, but posts from non-members are moderated (that way, anyone from any of the member grousp across the Omni can reach the list, but we can keep spam under control). I will be sending out some direct invites to people who have expressed interest in the past, or who have already been doing any construction related work. But meanwhile, feel free to access the URL above, and send a join request. Are you good with your hands? Know a thing a or two about electrical, drywall, painting, plumbing? Or would you just like to learn? Prefer work parties over sit-down meetings? This is the mailing list for you! Patrik PS: We're supposed to have a "Building / Space Operations working group", which I think was also supposed to include things like managing room reservations etc. But since that group has never met anyway, I figure we can turn this new platform into whatever we want it to be.

Network Changes

by Max B

Daniel and I made a few changes to the network configuration last night. We had noticed that our connection was much slower than it should've been and found a couple areas where we thought we could make improvements: tl;dr: We fixed some janky old wiring, replaced a server that was bloated, and added a wireless AP. There's bunches more to do and to document! Text wall incoming... - We moved the modem from the backspace area to the sudoroom server rack platform. We were able to keep the crazy phone + ethernet situation, but with many many fewer crazy wire splits and adapters hanging off of ethernet cables. It's a lot cleaner now - We moved the gateway from the middle of the red servers to the dell poweredge server on the top. We suspected that the fancy zentyal software on the red server was a little bloated/mis-configured. Getting an ethernet connection directly from the modem was providing 30Mb/s, but getting a connection anywhere after the zentyal server it was dropping to 10Mb/s. We installed Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS and set up some basic networking rules (read - no security per se). It's only got 2 ethernet ports, so it acts as a dhcp client on one interface and gets internet in from the modem and then does NATing and provides a dhcp server on the other side. There were a number of devices in sudoroom that have fixed 192.168.42.0/24 network ip addresses, so I setup the server to provide addresses on that range. - We added a wireless AP repeater to the sudoroom area. It's on channel 1 which doesn't overlap much. There should be three ssids in sudoroom with strong signal "sudoroom2.4ghz" "sudoroom5ghz", and "sudoroom24g2" (or something like that last one...). Daniel ran some cable from the server racks to the ball room and I was going to put a picostation there, but I was having trouble finding a picostation that would flash. So the wiring is all ready for an AP, but we just need to get a working picostation over there. Which leaves us with some notes and some todos: - It looked like a number of devices were all trying to provide dhcp servers on the 192.168.42.0/24 network. This doesn't seem like a particularly good idea to me. I don't see any reason we can't just do one of two things when we add a router: 1. Let it provide DHCP, but on a different subnet, with NAT or 2. Set it up to bridge connections to the LAN where the rack server will provide dhcp. - The server can use a bunch of configuration. I really don't know how security policy can/should work at sudoroom. It seems a little silly to have a complex firewall on a machine that's accessible to the public and has a sudo username/password written on top of it. - Need to get a picostation in the ballroom (maybe peoplesopen node once we feel confident we can guarantee that the tunnel to the exit node will stay up?) - We could probably use one more AP in sudoroom proper. We're currently using channels 1 and 6 I believe for the two APs. There are ~3 non-overlapping 2.4Ghz channels, so we might as well make full use of the spectrum and add a channel 11 AP - Would be nice to go around and make sure that no one else is providing DHCP on the 192.168.42.0/24 subnet. There were even a couple instances where I think I realized that we were inadvertently running an extra DHCP server. That visio AP in sudoroom had been plugged into the switch on the LAN side. It was a cute trick to keep everyone on the same subnet and if the visio had been smarter, it would've gone into proper bridged mode, but I'm not sure that was the case. - Figure out a better(?) IP allocation scheme. Right now the ubuntu server is providing 192.168.42.0/24 addresses and the visio router is NATing and providing 192.168.6.0/24 addresses (don't ask me why I picked that - it was really late/early). I think that will mean that folks connected to the visio will be able to access services on the 192.68.42.0/24 LAN, but not the other way around. - Document! I'm super guilty of not doing a good job of this, but Daniel and I were scrambling to get stuff in place and working. I think every router and host with a fixed ip address (or more) should get labelled with those addresses. I need to document this process on the wiki (this email was partially a preface to that). And, I think we should try to either provide a network diagram or maybe even a live monitor for folks to see what the hell is going on. It'd be pretty snazzy to be able to go to a web site somewhere and see the network topology/connected hosts. Either that or we could just use crayons..... Ok that's all I got for now, Max

Electrical stages proposed

by Whitney Lawrence

Upon further consideration and based on input from our community I recommend we move forward in Stages. First Stage: Service the server area (dedicated 20A breaker), 3d print area and Museum with another 20A breaker. Thus satisfying the Fire inspection needs. Stage 2, phase 1: Install plugs along Eastern wall (3rd 20A breaker) Stage 2, phase 2: Install 240V service to Robot on Eastern wall. Other 240v needs? Stage 2, phase 3: Install overhead power (either using the 4th available position of the Balcony breaker or tying into the 3d printer/museum j-box) I need to know about the Robot power requirements. I looked through the manuals posted by Jake and have not found the amperage rating for the control box+robot. Im working under the assumption that she requires a 30A dedicated 240V supply and Jake will preform 3phase magicianary. The reason I ask is because I need to size the breaker accordingly, and we have limited real estate within the Balcony panel (located in the music room). Currently (no pun intended) there are 4 breaker positions available in the Balcony panel. I think that all 240V supply, be it 30A(robot?) or 50A(welder?) any exhaust fans, dust collection service or whatever will have to be supplied from, not the Balcony panel, but the sub that feeds the Balcony called "Above Stage" panel. I recommend having dedicated breakers for the 240V supplies. Unless we know exactly what will be powered, there is no way of passing the <50% amperage usage per plug requirement of the NEC. This is simply the best practice. Furthermore, this should not be an issue if we are using the "Above Stage" panel because according to notes on the panel, most breakers within are not being utilized- so there is plenty of space. I'll continue to draft the drawings based on what I have written here. Hopefully the package will be complete and ready for review by this Friday. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Fgw5himtlmemiXReP-fG6rP-I2RoXsSP_MA… Thanks, Whit

Once the draft is ready, I think we have two electricians in our circle so far: * the person Jake suggested, not C10 * Dave Pedroli (gone til september) Maybe we can ask one of them how permitting works?

Room off of the stage is locked - Does someone have a key?

by niki

Hey Sudoers, I know that some Sudo folks have been temporarily storing some things in the room off of the stage. It seems that the door has been locked, however, and there are light switches that control some outdoor lighting that we need to get to. Anyone know who locked this room / who may have a key? We should keep that door unlocked, moving forward (or give all collectives keys) in the event that prospective new Omni members / tenants may want to consider using that space. xo Niki

Re: [sudo-discuss] Electrical detail draft

by Whitney Lawrence

I'm not making it to the meeting this evening. I have a draft together minus the quantity sheets, however, current q estimates are included in the shared spreadsheet <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Fgw5himtlmemiXReP-fG6rP-I2RoXsSP_MA…> under the Qty. tab. You will notice that the estimate is $1k. Please take a look at the pdf's and mark them up however you like and send me red-lines I will then make v1.1 of the package with hopes of getting the q sheet(s) done by Friday. Additionally, I request that my August and September dues be in the form of electrical design and installation. Lastly, because I am not a licensed electrician, these drafts need to be reviewed by a professional prior to construction. It would suck if we had to re-run or otherwise modify our work once the inspector comes. So if anyone has an electrician friend that can weigh in that would be helpful. Also has anyone put any effort into weather or not we need a permit prior to beginning this improvement? Thanks, Whit
